Looking into the World of Online Videos for Marketing & Recruiting…and other stuff.
This short, 50 second video is just a quick tip by a Life Coach. She made a lot of these (daily tip video), so she did them herself with a webcam…but she was close to the microphone (so the sound was not too bad) and the she was well lit. This tip involves the law of attraction…which a lot of people search for. Since the video was published 2 years ago, it has been viewed over 10,000 times.
Here is a competitor’s product video. It is 1 minute long and involves a person introducing the shoe. This video has some personality and the host (a millenial) makes it more engaging. This video has a handy-dandy buy now button…for those that loved the shoe and want it now.
This 3 minute 16 second video that talks about how they are a company where the people love it there, have fun, and it is like a family. If I was hearing from an executive or someone in HR, I would not believe it…but this video is comprised of testimonials from 15 employees. Everyone with full names and years there…so it feels very real. This is a great video…makes me want to work for them (too bad they don’t really exist in Minnesota).
This 2 minute and 43 second video looks like they did it themselves. The sound is bad because they used the built in microphone on the video recorder. The lighting is often poor. The video is a rough at times because the camera is hand held as they are walking around…and too quickly. Between the shake and how fast the camera is moving, it is difficult to really see clearly.

Professionally, I am very interested in online videos for businesses marketing their products & services, and videos for recruiting for their open positions.
